Kaye has eight years of experience as a Key Stage 1 class teacher in London and is available to tutor children of all primary school ages. She is an Oxbridge and Durham University Graduate (BSc from Durham University, MSc from the University of Oxford, MPhil and PGCE from the University of Cambridge).

In 2012, when working in an independent school, she began tutoring pupils to support their school learning and to prepare them for the 7+ and 8+ entrance exams. In 2017, she began leading 7+ English workshops during the school holidays and continues to do so as well as further developing expertise with 8+ workshops. During her classroom-based teaching years, she has taught many EAL pupils who have made fantastic progress with their English and in turn have gained much confidence.

Kaye enjoys planning engaging lessons, tailoring them to specific individuals and delivers them with enthusiasm, endless patience, and with a wide variety of methods to suit different learning styles. She motivates her pupils by giving meaning to their learning goals, emphasising how these are relevant to their lives in the present or future. In lessons, she identifies and provides clear learning objectives, and provides feedback to both pupils and parents on how they further progress and achieve their goals. She strives to nurture resilience, confidence, curiosity and independence, equipping children with essential skills for learning required throughout their academic careers and beyond.
